Another problem that I've noticed and reported previously is that shutdown reboots instead of shutting power off when installed on an ext4 partition. This problem does not occur with this ext3 frugal installation.

I have mine installed on an ext4 but I don't see this problem.

I am not sure.

But I guess Firefox has this lag on Puppy when I use Wlan.

I bought a new wlan adapter but still there is this lag.

Perhaps, developers don't keep in mind the way browsers utilize the network connection in Linux when building puppy so that browsers get screwed up trying to display pages.

Perhaps, I am wrong :D

Explain what you mean by lag?
I use Wlan. Seems OK to me.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Xsane issue Threshold not available.

Xsane issue Threshold not available.
Having been done some testing for Peasyscan, I discovered an issue in Xsane lineart (binary) mode.

When selecting the scan mode panel, I don't have the threshold bar.
My device is epson2

I have it in Icepuppy 012 and when discussing with rsrcn51 he advised to use the libsane-epson2.so.xxx library files in /usr/lib/sane from Ice to slacko 5.3

I did so and I could use the threshold bar.

Code: Select all

# ls -l libsane-epson2*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     24 2011-11-10 08:17 libsane-epson2.so -> libsane-epson2.so.1.0.20
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     24 2011-11-10 08:17 libsane-epson2.so.1 -> libsane-epson2.so.1.0.20
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 162780 2011-05-26 17:18 libsane-epson2.so.1.0.20
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 160800 2011-10-24 13:39 libsane-epson2.so.1.0.21org
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     24 2011-10-24 13:32 libsane-epson2.so.1org -> libsane-epson2.so.1.0.21
#
The library files ending in xxxxorg are the slacko 5.3 ones.
The others (which work) the ICE puppy 012 ones

I thought I just mention this for those who are using a epson2 backend.
Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).

I like the new Shoutcast Movie selection in Pupradio/TV. But the audio and video are not syncing.
Would this be a problem with the link, Pupradio, or something else?

Are any others that can verify that problem with that link?

Brown Mouse,

That happens when you install something that uses the csh shel. It's safe to delete.

You can delete anything in /etc/profile.d/ that has a .csh extension, will solve your issue.

That happens occasionally with that movie I have noticed. I reckon it's a site issue.

Hi Mick,

I tried Racy which also had the problems with Bootmanager and Shutdown I reported on the previous page. Barry has corrected these in the latest Racy which used the latest Woof version.

Will we now see a new version with the 3.xx kernel since there is a new Woof out?

Cheers,
Jim

Thanks for mentioning this . I already detected threshold slider issues in every Xsane from 0996 to 0998 and observed a relationship to the backend -version . My workaround for this is to go immediately to the Preferences > Setup > Save and UNCHECK Save device preferences at exit , so the slider if vanishes would show up next start . At some backends the slider never had shown up .

Yes, I am working on a new woof version.

As the next release will be strictly bugfix there will be no kernel upgrade. I'll save that for the next development cycle.

To save me downloading ice puppy can you do me the favour of tarballing the libsane-epson2.so.1.0.20 file please? I can pet it up as a z_sane_hack and it will overwrite the slacko libs in woof.

TIA.

This is unusual.

From your post in the GUI to download LibreOffice-Experimental thread I have fixed the full install bug. Thanks for the report.

LibreOffice should download directly from Slickpet and install ok in a full install. If that doesn't work can you give more detail on what is failing. Is it the download or the installation? I have had no trouble installing libreoffice in a full install.

Here is a download link:

Get the .tar.gz version.

Unpack the tarball to get the file libflashplayer.so

Copy it to the folder /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.

Right but my point is if the average user wants to install from the ppm all the links are broken.

I guess, its just that I have to click several times to get my browser to move to that page where in Windows its much smoother.

I noticed that when my PC gets to standby mode. Sometimes, it gets totally disconnected although i don't see the disconnected icon in the taskbar

I would be great to get a Pidgin and TOR update though :3

Mick, can you help with this, posted in noryb's win32 thread?

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 663#580663

I don't know if noryb used the same 530 scsi pae for his 530pae.exe installer, but the live CD works, the .exe, not....no CD on desktop??...and often no savefile loads...may be timing?

thanks

Aitch :)

It seems Flashplayer have moved their repo so Barry's or my flash installer will not work.

I have made a simple gui that takes you to the flash site so you can download flash manually but at least install it easily. It works with seamonkey and chromium confirmed but should be fine with iron, opera, firefox. You are prompted to close the browser, in fact installation halts if you leave the browser open, you can continue when you close the browser.

It's almost impossible to keep flash in the puppy repo because it is updated randomly and often. So I hope this makes life a little easir for those who don't like digging into the filesystem.

EDIT: A newer getflash is posted 2 posts down, based on Barry's findings on an opensuse page. I'll leave this one up, since it's completely different.
